"Being a lawman, I could use some protection against those corrupt types who might think to seize the opportunity here on my planet. That armor is mine."
―Sheriff Cobb Vanth[1]

Sheriff was a law enforcement title used by police officers.[1] With the disbanding of the Imperial Senate, many local governing institutions were dissolved as well, leaving sheriffs from the Anoat sector out of work.[2] Cobb Vanth held the position on the planet Tatooine shortly after the Battle of Endor.[1] By 9 ABY,[3] Vanth was using the title of marshal[4] in addition to sheriff. Vanth also acted as the town's mayor.[5]

  3. Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition, "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well.
